Another week

Another week has passed and everyone is doing well here. It has actually been a month since Amelia entered our lives. That sounds so hard to believe! But at the same time it seems like the past 4 weeks has lasted for 10 years. I am back at work physically but I am not sure how much mentally. Misty is still enjoying her time off by walking and reading blogs of other people out here that have gone through similar situations. Boy there a BUNCH.

We were reminded this week of how many people out there care for us. We got a letter from The Amelia Center listing all of the people that have made donations in memory of our Amelia and it was overwhelming. There is always the presence of this support around us but it is nice to be reminded of it.

We have had a busy week. We signed up Ben to play soccer at the YMCA. This is going to be fun for sure. We also did some recruiting of some other neighborhood kids that Ben played T-Ball with back in the spring. So we have 12 three and four year old kids signed up and ready to play. Ever since we told him about playing we have had to "practice" in the backyard. Some of the adults almost passed out last weekend but he was going strong. I am also going to be the coach since no one else had signed up. This should make it even more interesting with him playing and me coaching. In fact the last team I coached was at the same Y about 6 years ago. I volunteered and ending up coaching a 3-4 year old team and we had a blast.

We also are preparing some to travel to Disney World this Thursday. Someone at work asked me this week if we were all prepared to go and I simply answered, No. Misty and I travel so much with work that we will pack the night before and just simply get on the plane. In fact I just bought the tickets for the Magic Kingdom yesterday. We are just going to be down there for 4 days so it wont be hard for us to make this a fun time for Ben. Of course I did do a little planning yesterday by calling the Hilton Honors guest manager and asking what the capacity load of the hotel is next weekend and what our chances are for an upgrade. No matter how much I travel I still cover my bases for upgrades!

We have a very peaceful weekend planned thank goodness. There just happens to be some decent college football on this weekend so that will help pass the time on a rainy weekend I am sure. I am also very sure that Ben will keep us entertained playing the Wii.

Thank you always for the continued prayers. We know that we can face each day with God's help and your prayers are also helping us do just that.
